MASNA Speaks

MASNA believes that one of the greatest experiences a club can have is a guest speaker at their monthly meetings. Through the information parted by such knowledgeable guest speakers, the experiences of the member club’s participants will be greatly expanded and their enjoyment greatly increased. MASNA, knowing the financial expenditures of bringing in such knowledgeable and renown speakers, has organized, with our sponsors, to help offset the costs through the MASNA Speaks Program.

Basically, here’s how the program works.

Choose your speaker from our speaker database and MASNA will pay up to $300 of the actual transportation and lodging expenses, for any of these speakers to attend your meeting.

Remote presentations are reimbursable up to $100, for speakers using on-line or teleconferencing delivery methods.

After selecting your speaker you will need to contact them directly to arrange a convenient schedule.

Once the date has been finalized fill out the request form below. All requests must be made at least 21 days prior to the event

Transportation for the speaker should be arranged by you. MASNA must also be notified of a mailing address for the shipment of MASNA material, which includes brochures and other collateral for use during your event.
